10 Reasons I Still Use The Well Planned Day Planner

Next month I’ll begin using The Well Planned Day Family Homeschool Planner for the fourth year in a row. I tried other homeschool planners early in our homeschooling experience, and I never found exactly what I wanted until I fell in love with this one.

Here are ten reasons I continue to use The Well Planned Day Family Homeschool Planner:

It has a monthly calendar. I need a monthly calendar so I can mark appointments, extracurricular activities, field trips, and other activities so I can see our month at a glance and plan for our homeschool accordingly. (The monthly calendars are tabbed too, which makes it even easier to find what you’re looking for.)

It has weekly layouts.The weekly layout is where you make notes for homeschool lessons, and this planner has space for your weekly priorities, dinner menu, and more!

It inspires me. Every day, as I sit in front of my planner, I see the weekly verse and weekly quote. They inspire me and give me something positive to meditate on, apply to my life, and discuss with my children.

It’s pretty. I have to admit that I find the graphic designs and colors inspiring too. Because it’s so nice to look at, I don’t dread sitting down to take care of my record keeping.

I can keep all my records in one place. When I started homeschooling, I kept my lesson plans, attendance, and grades in separate books, like I had when I was a classroom teacher. It was too much. This planner has simplified my record keeping process by putting everything in one place.

It contains report cards. There are four report cards (pretty, of course) printed on heavy card stock included in the back of the planner. I used to make a special trip to a local store to purchase report cards when I needed one for something. Now I have them right there if I need them.

It’s full of homeschool encouragement. Each month has an encouraging or informative article written to help homeschool families.

It sets a good example for my children. My children see my using this planner every day, and they have learned how important it is to keep good records, the benefits of planning ahead, and that you can do both in a way that is easy and pretty! (There’s a review and giveaway of the Student Planner coming soon!)

It’s easy to store. I keep my records and samples of my children’s work every year, just in case I ever need them. Because all of my records are in one place, I can keep all the records for an entire school year without taking up a lot of valuable storage space!

It’s affordable. All this, and a great price too. What more could you ask for?

What’s your favorite feature of The Well Planned Day Family Homeschool Planner?

As a former elementary school teacher, I understand the need for supreme organization and space enough for everything you need. I will be new to homeschooling in the fall, and ths would be a perfect way to start the year! Thank you for the chance!

I also used the On the Go Planner this past year and am thinking of going to the full-sized planner for ’14-’15. I like the ability to plan for multiple children, since I will have 5 after October. They will be 5 and under, so not all are doing school, but I see this being very useful in my future. =)

I love that the daily planner pages include space for plannng the school portion of the day, but also the other important aspects of the day like meals and errands. One planner that actually has a spot for everything that I do in the course of a day!

I love that it’s all inclusive! I enjoy technology, but when it comes to planning I’m a pen and paper girl. It’s great that I don’t have to keep up with a menu planner, a to-do list, and a homeschool planner because this planner has it all!

I’ve been looking at this planner for a couple years now and just haven’t bitten the bullet and ordered one. I love how pretty it is, the monthly calendar, the dinner planner….so much organization I’m one place..YES, Please! The OCD side of me is loving it. 😀

My favorite feature in my WPD Planner is the “grades” section where I can keep track of test/quiz scores and see how my kids are doing. I actually love the entire book, but this section was what cemented my decision to purchase my first planner 4 years ago. I am hooked!

I used the WPD planner last year and really enjoyed the monthly spread followed by reading log, enrichment activities, bill tracker, and weekly schedules. Everything I need for the month in one spot so there is no need for flipping multiple pages looking.

I love this Well PLanned Day Planner!! this is my first year homeschooling and I really would love to get more organized. I have 2 older girls, and twin boys, they are 7 years old. I love the report card sections, this would be so awesome to win this!!!!

I have not owned one yet because of the cost, but I wish I can get one. I have looked at it from my friends and I love the weekly layout, the the bible verses, the grading parts , the meal planning I love everything about it. I hope one day to own one my life would be so much easier .

We are going into our third year of home school! I will have a 6th & 9th grader! I have not used a well planned day before (or any other planner) but I believe the record keeping and report card sections would be my favorite!! I think the well planned day planner would make a beautiful difference in my record keeping and planning, and so many other areas as well.

I love so many things about this planner, I have been using it for several years. My favorite thing about this planner is the ability to write out daily lesson plans for multiple children. I can see an entire weeks lesson plan for everyone in one glance.

I would LOVE to start this homeschool year with an awesome planner! I haven’t used this type before, but I like that all records and calendars are all in one place! AND the fact that it’s pretty is a PLUS!
